Aleia

A dual experience that fuses haute cuisine and architecture? You'll find few more interesting options, as this restaurant is located on the first floor of the famous Casa Fuster (now Hotel Casa Fuster), a jewel of Catalan Modernisme designed in the early 20th century by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. In its luminous and elegant dining room, with large columns flanking the incredible window and an undulating ceiling that reminds us of the titanium plates of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, you can enjoy a unique tasting menu with a contemporary-creative style, with the option of food and wine pairings. Jerez-born chef Rafa de Bedoya, always under the guidance of the award-winning Paulo Airaudo (Amelia by Paulo Airaudo, in Donostia-San Sebastián), brings coherence and flavour based on local, seasonal products. Outstanding dishes? We really liked their Iberian Flan, Maresme tear peas and sea urchin, as well as their reinterpretation of the typical Mel i mató (fresh cheese and honey). Excellent selection of wines by the glass!
